[Q]

For warp point defense I use a strategy "static defense" where no ships should break formation. The leader of the fleet was a base and therefore I expected the entire fleet to stay immobile and fire as a massive group against the attacking enemy. The first combat turns that was indeed true, but after about 8-10 turns some ships left the formation and attacked the enemy individually, which lead to their destruction.
Any ideas why the "no break formation" order was ignored??
